I converted to KDE modular some time ago with considerable trepidation. |
2 |
Now I'm faced with the updates that came out this week, and I'd like to take |
3 |
advantage of the opportunity this offers to dispense with (that is, unmerge) |
4 |
the many parts of KDE I will never use. |
5 |
|
6 |
The problem is obvious and unavoidable: there are 231 parts that |
7 |
currently are in my world file, and I do not know what all of them |
8 |
do. I can cherry-pick a few that are obvious throw-aways by removing |
9 |
them from world, and waiting to see if they get updated anyway because |
10 |
they're actually needed. |
11 |
|
12 |
Does anybody have advice about how to improve that process? Would it |
13 |
be better to remove all but the obvious keepers? |
14 |
|
15 |
I'm not looking forward to the pains-taking process of vetting each and |
16 |
every one of the 231, but I don't want to be spending the time to recompile |
17 |
the presumed multitude that I never ever use. |
